Question
Answer
show Emotions are physiological responses to a salient(events that stand out the most) environmental situation objective 3 types(all automatic): Autonomic arousal, Behavioral/action, motivation can be measured Subjective 1: feelings can be measured  
🗑
show Objective automatic response Nervous system response to the situation, stress -Mobilizes energy for quick response and Hormone release reinforces the autonomic response  
🗑
behavioral/action emotional response   show
🗑
show objective automatic response -Psychological driven to overcome an adaptive challenge -Directs the behavior driven to avoid pain & move towards pleasure, gives the directions to correctly use behaviors  
🗑
show Subjective component of emotions, humans feel as they experience -The feelings described as "emotions" have been associated w/physiological responses through learning/experience -can't be measured, only talk to humans about feelings  
🗑

🗑
show Part of prefrontal cortex Critical to emotional reasoning, contributes to emotional/moral res. -How we chosen to express our emotions/they play into our morals  
🗑
show Inhibits aggression/risk taking behavior -Low 5-HT activity increase aggressive attacks  
🗑

🗑
Mice + Serotonin   show
🗑
Prefrontal serotonin in aggression   show
🗑
show Prenatal androgen exposure organizes neural circuits controlling aggression -puberty, testosterone activates these circuits, increasing aggressive behaviors  
🗑
show Critical to reproductive/defensive behaviors -sti. Testosterone produces aggression (High con. of androgen receptors, injections= increase intermale aggression)  
🗑
show not aggressive can't get aroused  
🗑
show chemical castration cuts of source of androgen so won't work on receptors, decreased aggression  
🗑
High levels of androgen   show
🗑
show increasing aggression  
🗑
Androgens   show
🗑
show Emotion is communicated through physical responses -Alerts others to one's feelings, includes postural changes, sounds and facial expressions *most intense w/audience  
🗑
show Innate responses, automatic/involuntary -RIght hemisphere is critical to expression of emotion -Darwin: ppl of isolated tribes recognize the meaning of facial expressions /make the same expressions -Blind children  
🗑
Innate responses   show
🗑
show Critical to expression/recognition of emotion -left side of the face makes more intense expression then right -lesions impair facial expression/recognition of emotion  
🗑
show a lot of expressions that escape prefrontal can't stop it  
🗑
show 1:facial nerve innervates superficial muscles(attached to facial skin) of expression 2:trigeminal nerve innervates deep facial muscles(attached structures of the head) jaw
